By MWB Desk
As winter approaches and the season of festivities gets going, there is a subtle yearning to add a sparkle to one’s space, if only to drum up the motivation to step into another year. When it comes to opulence, one need not look further back than a hundred years for an age that knew how to do luxury right. Borrowing some key notes from the Art Deco movement, here’s how to update it for interiors that look and feel lush and sophisticated.
Go bold
Getting a refresh on your upholstery? Opt for rich, dramatic colors like deep emerald greens, royal blues, and sumptuous burgundies with metallic accents in shades of gold, silver, or brass. This combination evokes the opulence of the Art Deco era while maintaining a contemporary feel.
A lesson in geometry
Use geometric patterns in wallpapers, textiles, and accessories to echo the Art Deco style. Give it a deshi twist with jamdani motifs to add visual interest and depth to your space. A statement rug or an accent wall with a geometric design can serve as a stunning focal point.
All about the feel
Incorporate high-quality materials like velvet, leather, marble, and polished metals to elevate your Design. These materials not only add a touch of luxury but also enhance the experience of your space. Consider a sleek leather sofa or a marble co ee table as key pieces in your living area.
The old and the new
Blend vintage pieces with modern furnishings for an eclectic yet harmonious look. A vintage chandelier can complement sleek, contemporary furniture, creating a dynamic interplay of styles. This mix allows for personal expression while staying true to the design’s roots.
Top it o with care
Guides and magazines can go a long way in helping you put together a good-looking room, but what really makes the space come alive is a personal touch. Add some elements that reflect your personality and complement your overall design. Gold accents, and bold art pieces can bring a luxurious touch without overwhelming the space.
